Fanmion is that safe to use solus gnome without installing any updates? I reinstalled gnome 4.3...
It is always a risk to run an operating system without current updates. However, in this case, Solus 4.3 was released in August 2021, and the risk is probably not high. It would be a good idea to update if you are willing to put up with a lengthy process.
If you want to install updates, this is a method that should work:
(1) Open the terminal.
(2) Run command sudo eopkg up. This will start the update process.
(3) The process will start to download updates.
(4) At some point, the download process will fail. You will probably get a message something like: "Operation too slow. Less than 1000 bytes/sec transferred the last 120 seconds."
(5) When the process fails, run sudo eopkg up again. The download process will pick up where it left off and download more files before it fails again.
(6) Keep repeating Step (5) as many times as you need to in order to download all the files. Be patient. You might have to repeat Step (5) over and over again, but it will eventually download all the files.
(7) After all the files have downloaded, the update process will continue to completion without further action on your part, verifying, extracting and installing files, until you are fully updated.
If you don't want to update at this time, keep checking back to this thread. RIT will eventually get the problem solved and we can count on the Solus team to let us know in this thread.
